    Dear Maryn, loved listening to you as always 🙂 I found very interesting your reflection on the interruption #4 considering our feeling of safety navigating the recent times during the plandemic and in a way post-plandemic now (added to more crazy things happening into the world I’m sure)> I remember being sure I was in a ‘bubble; during my third pregnancy (and most recent one) on those times, and remember feeling this embodied nervousness around 3 weeks before the actual birth (which I hadn’t felt with my previous, and didn’t have to do with trusting birth or feeling something ‘bad’ would happen physically, not at all). This dissappeared when the actual birth started. I felt this time I experienced this because of maybe experiencing the embodiment of the ancestral knowing of steeping soon into the Unknown (which birth), literally as approaching an abyss I felt. With your reflection, I now wonder if it was also related to this in a way? Thank you for sharing your insights as always, much love from Peru
